Common Information Model (CIM)
The Common Information Model (CIM) is a conceptual, object-based information model defined by
the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) for describing management, which is not bound to
a particular implementation. This allows for the interchange of management information between
management systems and applications.
CIM consists of two parts:
•
•
CIM Specification
CIM Schema
The CIM Specification describes the language, naming, metaschema, and mapping techniques to
other management models, such as SNMP MIBs and FC-GS. The metaschema is a formal definition
of the model that defines the terms used to express the model and their usage and semantics. The
elements of the metaschema are classes, properties, and methods. The metaschema also
supports indications and associations as types of classes and references as types of properties.
The CIM Schema provides the actual model descriptions. The CIM Schema supplies a set of
classes with properties and associations that provide a well-understood conceptual framework
within which it is possible to organize the available information about the managed environment.
The CIM Schema itself is structured into three distinct layers:
•
•
•
Core Schema
Common Schema
Extension Schema
The Core Schema defines basic classes, such as a managed element or an association. The
Common Schema provides a set of foundation classes that can be used as the super-class to
describe other devices, such as a system, a device, or a network. The Extension Schema allows
users to expand the definitions in the Common Schema to describe specific device types, such as a
Brocade FC switch.
The formal definition of the CIM Schema is expressed in a managed object format (MOF) file, which
is an ASCII file that can be used as input into a MOF editor, parser, or compiler to generate code for
use in a provider or client application.
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a set of management and internet standard
technologies to unify management of an enterprise. It includes CIM, CIM Schemas, CIM operations
over HTTP, and CIM-XML encoding.

Brocade SMI-S Initiative
1
Brocade SMI-S Initiative
Storage Management Initiative (SMI) is a broad-based initiative sponsored by the Storage
Networking Industry Association (SNIA) that is standardizing all aspects of storage management for
multivendor storage networking products. SMI encompasses the storage aspects of CIM, as shown

Databases
Events
FIGURE 1
Storage Management Initiative
The Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) defines the interface that allows storage
management systems to manage and monitor storage area network (SAN) resources.
SMI-S is the only standard that addresses manageability from the perspective of a logical unit
number (LUN) in a storage array, all the way through the data path, to an application running on a
host. The standard promises to remove much of the vendor-specific issues associated with
managing storage, storage networks, hosts, and applications by providing a common interface and
management paradigm across the full scope of application and storage management. This in turn
will improve the interoperability of various management products and allow more products to be
managed by most management environments. Customers will benefit from a much wider choice of
broad-based management applications.
Brocade SMI Agent
The Brocade SMI Agent (SMI-A) is a “proxy” agent to multiple fabrics; it resides on a separate host.
The SMI-A does not require any modification or upgrade to deployed fabrics when it is deployed. All

Start the Brocade SMI Agent
There are two ways you can start the SMI-A:
•
•
from the command line
as a service or daemon
You can start the SMI-A as a service only if the option to start as a service was selected during
installation or if you configure the SMI-A as a service using the Brocade SMI-A Configuration Tool,
The following procedures describe how to start the SMI-A without security and with security
enabled.
By default, security is disabled on all platforms. In this case, security is the authentication of the
client username and password (and domain name, if security is enabled on Windows by selecting
domain authentication) when connecting to the server. The procedure for enabling security varies,
depending on the platform.
On Solaris, Linux, or AIX, if security is enabled for the SMI-A, start the SMI-A as a root using the
start_server script.
NOTE
This document uses <SMIAgent> to refer to the installation folder, although your installation folder
might be different (if you changed it from the default).
Starting the SMI-A
1. Type the following at the command line:
On Linux, Solaris, and AIX:
sh <SMIAgent>/agent/server/jserver/bin/start_server.sh

On Windows, you can also click Start > Programs > SMIAgent > Stop SMI Agent Service.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) support
The Brocade SMI Agent supports SLP to allow applications to discover the existence, location, and
configuration of WBEM services in enterprise networks.
A WBEM client is not required to use SLP discovery to find a WBEM Server; that is, it might already
know about the location and capabilities of the WBEM Server to which it wants to send its requests.
In such environments, starting the SLP component of the SMI-A is not needed.
However, in a dynamically changing enterprise network environment, many WBEM clients might
choose to use SLP discovery to find the location and capabilities of other WBEM Servers. In such
environments, the SLP component of the SMI-A should be started to allow advertisement of its
existence, location, and capabilities.
NOTE
If you want SLP support, you must install and start the SLP daemon prior to starting the SMI-A.
Brocade SMI Agent SLP support consists of the following components:
•
•
slpd script that starts up the slpd platform-specific program
slpd program that acts as a Service Agent (SA). A different slpd binary executable exists for
Solaris, Linux, AIX, and Windows.

•
•
slptool script that starts up the slptool platform-specific program
slptool program that can be used to verify that SLP is operating properly. A different slptool
exists for Solaris, Linux, AIX, and Windows.
By default, the SMI-A is configured to advertise itself as a Service Agent (SA). The advertised SLP
template shows its location (IP address) and the WBEM Services it supports. The default
advertised WBEM services show that the SMI-A:
•
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTP without SSL on TCP port 5988
accepts WBEM requests over HTTPS using SSL on TCP port 5989
slptool commands
Although the IP address shown below might vary, the following slptool commands can be used to
verify that the SLP is operating properly:
•
slptool findsrvs service:service-agent
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly running as a Service Agent (SA).
Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:
service:service-agent://127.0.0.1,65535
•
slptool findsrvs service:wbem
This command verifies that the SMI-A SLP service is properly advertising its WBEM services.
Although the IP address might be different, it should produce output similar to the following:
This output shows that the SMI-A:
•
•
accepts WBEM requests over HTTP using SSL on TCP port 5989

Disable HTTP for security reasons
If security or mutual authentication is enabled, you might want to disable the unsecure HTTP
protocol, leaving only the secure HTTPS enabled. There are two ways to enable and disable the
HTTP protocol:
•
•
Use the command-line scripts packaged by the SMI-A installer.
The SMI-A installer packages the scripts DeleteXMLProtocolAdapter to permanently disable the
HTTP port used by the SMI-A and CreateXMLProtocolAdapter to enable the HTTP port again.
These scripts can be found in the following directory:
<SMIAgent>/agent/bin
Connection monitoring
The SMI-A handles connection monitoring for the connection to the proxy switch. Whenever there is
a connection failure to the proxy switch, by default the SMI-A automatically tries to reconnect to the
proxy switch 5 times with a wait time of 90 seconds between each retry. This process is repeated
every 30 minutes until the connection is reestablished to the proxy switch.
NOTE
The actual time between each retry is the 90-second wait time plus the retry time (the time spent
on reestablishing the connection to the proxy switch). The retry time is beyond the SMI Agent’s
control.
These default values of 5 retries, 90-second sleep interval between retries, and 30 minutes
between each retry process are all configurable through the
Brocade_ConnectionMonitoringService and through instances of Brocade_ConnectionMonitor.
These values are not configurable through the SMI-A installer or configuration tool.

Proxy connections
The SMI-A installation wizard automatically configures the provider.xml file with the fabric
information that is added during the installation process. This section describes how you can add
or remove proxy entries manually after installation is done.
You can also choose to have the SMI-A attempt to reload the provider.xml when fabric
segmentation occurs.
When you add proxy entries, the SMI-A attempts to log in to every one. If you have proxy entries for
different switches in the same fabric, the SMI-A establishes only one connection to the fabric, using
the first valid switch in the list. Subsequent login attempts to the same fabric result in an
informative error message: “A duplicate switch in the fabric has been identified and will be
removed.”
By default, passwords are stored in encrypted format in the provider.xml file. Duplicate proxy IP
addresses are not allowed.
The provider.xml file is located in the <SMIAgent>\agent\server\jserver\bin directory.
Reloading provider.xml on fabric segmentation
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.
3. Select the ReloadConnection check box.
4. Click Apply.
Including multiple switch connection entries from the same fabric in the
provider.xml
1. Stop the SMIA server.
2. Edit the provider.xml manually as mentioned above by providing the connection entry for each
switch.
3. Enable the connection reload through the Configuration Tool.
Alternatively, you can edit the SMIAgentConfig.xml and set the connection reload flag to true so
that rescan of the provider.xml is enabled.
4. Start the SMIA server.

Access control
An SMI client uses a two-level login: one login to the SMI-A and another login to the proxy switch to
gain access to a fabric. The SMI-A has a limitation of one connection per fabric, so all SMI clients
share the same connection to a fabric even if they have different Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
roles.
To enable SMI clients to have different RBAC roles, you can map each SMI client to a different
switch user. With this mapping, SMI clients can have different RBAC roles, even though they share
the same connection to the fabric.
For additional information about RBAC roles, see the Brocade SMI Agent Developer’s Guide.
The Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool has two Access Control options:
•
•
User Mapping
Default User Mapping
The User Mapping option allows you to map specific SMI-A users to specific switch user names. The
Default User Mapping option allows you to set up the mapping for all other SMI-A users. Using
these two options, you can restrict access to specific SMI-A users. For example, in the User
Mapping section you can specify a few SMI-A users who have admin-level access and give all the
other SMI-A users user-level access in the Default User Mapping section.

Limitations of SMI-A user-to-switch user mapping
•
Indications are not filtered based on the SMI-A user names. Indications related to fabrics for
which the SMI-A user does not have access will still be delivered.
•
It is not recommended to map default SMI-A users to a zoneadmin switch user. If default SMI-A
users are mapped to a zoneadmin switch user, then the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool
is unable to display the status of the fabric connection.
•
•
•
For VF-enabled chassis, read or write access restrictions are not allowed for each logical fabric
separately. If the SMI-A user is mapped to a switch user on a VF-enabled chassis, then the
SMI-A user has the same access privilege for all of the logical fabrics in the chassis.
For VF-enabled chassis, the switch user mapped in User mapping and Default User mapping
configurations should have access to at least one of the logical fabrics configured in the
VF-enabled chassis.
The SMI Agent does not restrict access based on the VF list accessible to the switch user in a
VF-enabled chassis. The SMI Agent uses the RBAC permission map of the proxy switch alone.
For switches running Fabric OS 6.3.x or earlier, RBAC restrictions in the SMI Agent cannot be
specific to certain logical fabrics. To get the same RBAC behavior in the SMI Agent for switches
running Fabric OS 6.4.x or later, the chassis role of these switches should not be more access
restrictive than the switch role.

Mutual authentication setup
Before you enable mutual authentication for clients and indications, you need to do the following so
the Configuration Tool will know the location of the certificate files:
•
•
Configure the WbemClient.properties file with the location of the certificate files.
Update the CLASSPATH variable in two files with the location of the WbemClient.properties file.
Configuring mutual authentication for clients
You can restrict access to the SMI-A to only clients that are trusted by the agent. The SMI-A uses
private key information and authentication information to allow only specific clients to send
requests as SSL-encrypted CIM-XML to the SMI-A.
By default, mutual authentication for clients is disabled, which means that any client can use the
HTTPS communication protocol to communicate with the SMI-A. When mutual authentication for
clients is enabled, then only those clients whose certificates have been added to the SMI-A
TrustStore can use HTTPS to communicate with the SMI-A. That is, the SMI-A must have a
TrustStore that contains a certificate for an entry in the client KeyStore.
Additionally, when mutual authentication for clients is enabled, the client must have a TrustStore
that contains the certificate for an entry in the SMI-A KeyStore.
Using the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool, you can enable and disable mutual authentication
for clients, import the client certificate to the SMI-A TrustStore, and export the server certificate to a
file where the client can access it.
If you enable mutual authentication, you may choose to disable the CIM-XML client protocol
adapter (CPA) for the SMI-A so that the clients can use only HTTPS communication. If you do not
disable the CIM-XML CPA, then any client can communicate with the SMI-A using HTTP access.
When you disable or enable mutual authentication for clients, the SMI-A server must be stopped.
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.
The content pane displays the current setting, which is selected and dimmed.
3. To enable mutual authentication for clients, click the Enable Client Authentication radio button.
If this option is unavailable, then mutual authentication for clients is already enabled.
To disable mutual authentication for clients, click the Disable Client Authentication radio
button. If this option is unavailable, then mutual authentication for clients is already disabled.
4. Click the Stop Server to stop the SMI-A, if it is running. This button is unavailable if the server is
already stopped.
5. Click Apply.
6. If you enabled mutual authentication for clients, you can perform the following optional steps
to allow only secure communication with trusted clients:
a. Disable HTTP access so that only HTTPS access is available to the clients. (See
communications purposes if mutual authentication is enabled.
If you do not disable HTTP access, then any client can communicate with the SMI-A using
HTTP access.

b. Configure the WBEM client to use client certificates to communicate with the SMI-A. (See
The changes take effect when you restart the server. Click Start Server to restart the server.
Configuring mutual authentication for indications
By default, mutual authentication for indications is disabled, which means that the SMI-A uses SSL
to send CIM-XML indications to a WBEM client listener, but does not attempt to verify the identity of

Port configuration
This section describes how to configure the HTTP, HTTPS, ARR, and Eventing ports.
•
•
Configure HTTP and HTTPS ports
The SMI-A includes the CIM-XML and CIM-XMLS Client Protocol Adapters (CPA). By default, all are
installed and enabled for use. Each CPA uses a different TCP port to exchange WBEM requests and
responses. By default, the SMI-A has configured its supported CPAs to use the following ports:
•
•
CIM-XMLS (HTTPS) on TCP port 5989
CIM-XML (HTTP) on TCP port 5988
If multiple CIM agents are running at the same time on a system, they cannot use the same ports.
For example, some operating systems (such as Solaris 8 and Solaris 9) have a CIM agent
preinstalled and already running on standard CIM TCP ports. This can cause conflicts with the
SMI-A if both agents are listening on the same ports. In this case, you must configure each SMI-A to
use different ports. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information on whether
a CIM agent is running.
When you choose values for the HTTP and HTTPS ports, make sure they are not one of the assigned
TCP ports. The Configuration Tool does not check for this. You can see a list of assigned TCP ports
at:
Configuring the HTTP and HTTPS ports
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.
The content pane displays the current and configured HTTP and HTTPS ports.
Current means the SMI Agent is currently using these ports, provided the server is running.
Configured means the configuration is not in effect currently, but will be used when the server
is restarted.
3. To change the settings, type new values in the Configured HTTP Port and Configured HTTPS
Port fields.
The value must be between 1 and 65535, inclusive.
Make sure the ports are not in use before you assign them; otherwise, the results will be
unpredictable.
4. Click Apply.
The changes take effect when you restart the server. Click Start Server to restart the server.

FIGURE 18 Configure HTTP and HTTPS ports
Configure ARR and eventing ports
You can configure both the secure and non-secure ARR and eventing ports using the procedure in
this section.
The ARR port is the port through which the switches in the fabric send data (large payload
responses) back to the SMI-A.
The eventing port is the port through which the switch connects to the SMI-A to deliver events.
If a firewall exists between the SMI-A and the fabric, these ports must be open in the firewall. If
these ports are not open, the connection from the SMI-A to the fabric will fail.
ARR and eventing ports are optional. If you do not configure them, or if you configure them with a
value of 0, the SMI Agent dynamically allocates a port during server startup.
When you choose values for the ARR and eventing ports, make sure they are not one of the
assigned TCP ports. The Configuration Tool does not check for this. You can see a list of assigned
TCP ports at:
Configuring the ARR and eventing ports
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.

Debugging options for CIMOM
The SMI-A can write detailed debugging output to a file. By default, the SMI-A is configured with
debugging disabled.
You can enable or disable debugging for CIMOM using the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool. If
you enable debugging, trace statements are logged to a trace file with the following name format:
jserverlog_<month & date>_<Hour & Mins>.trace
For example, jserverlog_1017_1655.trace is the trace file for 4:55 p.m. on October 17.
Whenever the CIMOM server is restarted, a new trace file is generated with the timestamp of when
the server starts.
The location of this log file is the folder from which the SMIA server is started. It is usually the folder
that contains the start_server script:
On Linux, Solaris, and AIX:<SMIAgent>/agent/server/jserver/bin
On Windows:
<SMIAgent>\agent\server\jserver\bin
Configuring debugging options for CIMOM

d. If you checked the Exception debug option, select the exception level from the drop-down
list.
You set an exception level to suppress logging unwanted exceptions. Setting an exception
level causes the SMI-A to log all exceptions of that level and lower. For example, setting an
exception level of 3 logs exceptions having values of 1, 2, and 3, but does not log level 4
exceptions.
The exception level values are:
0
No exceptions are logged.
1 - Fatal
Exceptions that affect further functioning of the SMI-A. For example,
exceptions when rpcd fails on the switch.
2 - Error
Exceptions that are important and directly affect client operation. For
example, an exception when the call for getting Brocade_SwitchFCPort
information fails.
3 - Warning Exceptions that need user attention, but do not directly affect SMI-A
functionality. For example, an exception logged when the password is expiring
on the proxy switch.

CIMOM server configuration
If the server is running on a system using multiple IP addresses, the server binds to an IP address
arbitrarily chosen by the underlying operating system. Using the following procedure, you can
configure the server to use a specific IP address.
Configuring the CIMOM server
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.
You must enable the stack before the SMI Agent can communicate using the IPv4 or IPv6
address.
3. Click Enable to enable the IPv4 stack, or click Disable to disable the IPv4 stack and use IPv6
instead.
4. Check the Bind to Address box to indicate the server should bind to a specific IP address, and
enter the IP address (in IPv4 or IPv6 format) in the field.
Clear the Bind to Address box to indicate that the server should bind to an IP address that is
arbitrarily chosen by the underlying operating system.
5. Click Apply.

Configuring log file options
You cannot configure log file options with the SMI Agent Configuration Tool. The following
procedure describes how to change the log file options by modifying the jserver.properties file.
1. Open the jserver.properties file found at …server/jserver/bin.
2. Uncomment the following lines:
# com.wbemsolutions.jserver.logdirectory=/mylogfiledir
#com.wbemsolutions.jserver.log.maxfilesize=5000000
#com.wbemsolutions.jserver.log.numfiles=3
Replace mylogfiledir with the complete path of the log file directory.
Replace 5000000 with the maximum size of the log file (in KB).
Replace 3 with the number of rotating log files.
When the specified size is exceeded on the first log file, logs are written to the next log file. When
approximately the specified number of KB have been written to one log file, another log file is
opened.
NOTE
Sometimes log file will exceed the size specified because of a limitation in Java logging. After the
server is stopped, the size of the log file will be reduced to the size specified.

Introduction
The SMI-A installation wizard provides options for enabling mutual authentication for clients and
indications. This chapter describes how you can enable mutual authentication after installation,
without re-running the installation wizard.
If you enable mutual authentication, you should disable the CIM-XML client protocol adapter (CPA)
for the SMI-A so that the clients can use only HTTPS communication. If you do not disable the
CIM-XML CPA, then any client can communicate with the SMI-A using HTTP access.
The client and server certificates that are used in the mutual authentication are only private
certificates that are generated by Brocade and are not verified by any certificate authority. Clients
cannot add their own certificates to the server trust stores.
NOTE
Mutual authentication works using only Brocade-provided private certificates.
Mutual authentication for clients
You can restrict access to the SMI-A to only clients that are trusted by the agent. The SMI-A uses
private key information and authentication information to allow only specific clients to send
requests as SSL-encrypted CIM-XML to the SMI-A.
By default, mutual authentication for clients is disabled, which means that any client can use the
HTTPS communication protocol to communicate with the SMI-A. When mutual authentication for
clients is enabled, then only those clients whose certificates have been added to the SMI-A
TrustStore can use HTTPS to communicate with the SMI-A. That is, the SMI-A must have a
TrustStore that contains a certificate for an entry in the client KeyStore.
Additionally, when mutual authentication for clients is enabled, the client must have a TrustStore
that contains the certificate for an entry in the SMI-A KeyStore.

Enabling mutual authentication for clients
1. Configure the SMI-A to support mutual authentication for clients. This can be done either
during installation using the installation wizard, or after installation, as described in
2. Optionally, disable HTTP access so that only HTTPS access is available to the clients. HTTPS
communication is preferred if mutual authentication is enabled. (See “Configuring HTTP
3. Optionally, configure the WBEM client to use client certificates to communicate with the SMI-A.
Mutual authentication for indications
You can restrict delivery of indications using mutual SSL authentication to only clients that are
trusted by the SMI-A.
By default, mutual authentication for indications is disabled, which means that the SMI-A uses SSL
to send CIM-XML indications to a WBEM client listener, but does not attempt to verify the identity of
the WBEM client listener. When mutual authentication for indications is enabled, then only those
clients whose certificates have been added to the SMI-A Indications TrustStore can use SSL to
receive indications from the SMI-A. That is, the SMI-A must have a TrustStore that contains a
certificate for an entry in the client’s Indications KeyStore.
Enabling mutual authentication for indications

3. Optionally, configure the WBEM client to use client certificates to communicate with the SMI-A.
Client configuration to use client certificates
After installation is completed, the client certificates are in the following location:
On Linux, Solaris, and AIX:<SMIAgent>/agent/client
On Windows:
<SMIAgent>\agent\client
This folder has the following files:
•
•
•
•
.client.keystore
.client.truststore
client.cer
.client.ind.keystore

Client configuration to use client certificates
4
•
•
.client.ind.truststore
clientind.cer
There are three ways to configure a WBEM client to use a client certificate with the SMI-A:
•
•
•
using a property file
using system property values when invoking the WBEM client
using a WBEM client listener program (mutual authentication for indications only)
Configuring a client to use client certificates using a property file
1. Create a WbemClient.properties file, which contains information for the configuration of the
client keystore and truststore.
For example, if the SMI-A is installed under D:\smiagent, the contents of the
WbemClient.properties file should be as follows.
Mutual authentication for clients:
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=D:/smiagent/agent/client/.client.keystore
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=SSLclient
javax.net.ssl.trustStore=D:/smiagent/agent/client/.client.truststore
javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=trustSSLclient
Mutual authentication for indications:
wbem.indications.keyStore=D:/smiagent/agent/client/.client.ind.keystore
wbem.indications.keyStorePassword=SSLindication
wbem.indications.trustStore=D:/smiagent/agent/client/.client.ind.truststore
wbem.indications.trustStorePassword=trustSSLindication
Note that both the javax.net.* properties and the wbem.indications.* properties can be
specified in the same WbemClient.properties file.
2. Modify the CLASSPATH environment variable to reference this file.
The CLASSPATH should contain only the path to the directory where the file is present and not
the path to the file itself. For example, if the WbemClient.properties file is located at
C:\SMIAgent\agent, then the CLASSPATH environment variable should be:
C:\SMIAgent\agent
Configuring a client to use client certificates using system property
values
Pass the required system properties as jvm parameters on the command line, using the -D
option as follows.
Mutual authentication for clients:
java -classpath <SMIAgent>/agent/lib/wbem.jar
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.keystore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=SSLclient
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.truststore

-Dwbem.indications.keyStorePassword=SSLindication
-Dwbem.indications.trustStore=<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.ind.truststore
-Dwbem.indications.trustStorePassword=trustSSLindication
clientprogram
Configuring a client to use client certificates using client listener
program (mutual authentication for indications only)
Set the required system properties within the client listener program. For example:
public class clientlistener {
private static final String KS = "indication.keyStore";
private static final String KSPWD = "indications.keyStorePassword";
private static final String TS = "indications.trustStore";
private static final String TSPWD = "indications.trustStorePassword";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.KS) =
"<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.ind.keystore";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.KSPWD) = "SSLindication";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.TS) =
"<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.ind.truststore";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.TSPWD) = "trustSSLindication";
}
Client configuration to use client certificates for default SSL
indications
When mutual authentication for indications is not enabled, you can configure a client to use default
SSL indications. There are three ways to configure a WBEM client to use default SSL indications:
•
•
•
using a property file
using system property values when invoking the WBEM client
using a WBEM client listener program
The procedures are similar to those in “Client configuration to use client certificates” on page 48,
the only difference being that you do not include the truststore information.
Note that the certificates installed for mutual authentication for clients and indications are not
platform-specific. That is, the certificates installed for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX are the
same. Client certificates installed on one platform can be used by the clients running on other
platforms.
Configuring a client for default SSL indications using a property file
1. Create a WbemClient.properties file, which contains information for the configuration of the
client keystore. Do not include truststore information in the file.
For example, if the SMI-A is installed under D:\smiagent, the contents of the
WbemClient.properties file should be as follows.
wbem.indications.keyStore=D:/smiagent/agent/client/.client.ind.keystore

wbem.indications.keyStorePassword=SSLindication
2. Modify the CLASSPATH environment variable to reference this file. The CLASSPATH should
contain only the path to the directory where the file is present and not the path to the file itself.
For example, if the WbemClient.properties file is located at C:\SMIAgent\agent, then the
CLASSPATH environment variable should be:
C:\SMIAgent\agent
Configuring a client for default SSL indications using system property
values
Pass the required system properties as jvm parameters on the command line, using the -D
option as follows.
java -classpath <SMIAgent>/agent/wbem.jar
-Dwbem.indications.keyStore=<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.ind.keystore
-Dwbem.indications.keyStorePassword=SSLindication
clientprogram
Do not pass the truststore information in the command line.
Configuring a client for default SSL indications using client listener
program
Set the required system properties within the client listener program. For example:
public class clientlistener {
private static final String KS = "indication.keyStore";
private static final String KSPWD = "indications.keyStorePassword";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.KS) =
"<SMIAgent>/agent/client/.client.ind.keystore";
System.setProperty(clientlistener.KSPWD) = "SSLindication";
}
Do not include the truststore information in the client listener program.
Troubleshooting
If the keystore and truststore information is not set up correctly, the following errors are expected
on the client side, depending on the WBEM client configuration:
•
If the WBM client is configured with no keystore or truststore information, the following error is
issued on the client side:

Besides Windows Domain authentication, does the SMI Agent support local user authentication?
The SMI Agent also supports authenticating the user against the system on which it is installed. By
default when you configure security, the user’s credentials (username and password) are validated
against the ones present on the local system. To ensure this happens, follow these steps:
1. During SMI-A installation, enable security and select “No” for Windows domain authentication.
2. Create a local user on the Windows system where the agent is installed.

General questions

What are some situations that might require restarting the SMI Agent?
Restarting of the SMIAgent is required when:
•
•
•
configuration parameters, such as the debug level or log file name, are changed.
host IP, HTTP, or HTTPS port is changed.
firmware download configuration entry in SMIAgentConfig.xml is changed.
What are the Eventing and ARR TCP Ports? Do they relate to indications?
These are ports that are used by the agent to receive events and ARP responses from the fabric.
The client is not required to fill in these ports; the operating system selects the ports dynamically.
One probable use case for specifying these ports is if there is a firewall between the fabric and the
host. In this case, you can specify a fixed port to be opened by the administrator for eventing or
ARR.
If I have a firewall between the SMIAgent and the Brocade switch, what are the ports that must be
opened and in which direction?
At login the Brocade SMI Agent first contacts the switch through RPC on portmapper port 111. All
other calls to the switch are through RPC on ports 897 (non-secure) and 898 (secure).
The ARR and Eventing ports that you select are those on the Brocade SMI Agent host.
If there is a firewall between the Brocade SMI Agent and the Brocade fabric, the following ports
must be opened:
SMIAgent to Switch:
•
•
•
111
897
898
Switch to SMIAgent:
•
Your ARR and Eventing port selections
What encryption method is used to encrypt the password field in provider.xml?
The SMI Agent comes with a utility to encrypt the password. This utility is present in the following
directory:
Linux, Solaris, and AIX:<SMIAgent>/agent/bin/PasswordEncryptor
Windows:
<SMIAgent>\agent\bin\PasswordEncryptor.bat
Use this utility to encrypt the password.
How do I report a problem and what information should I provide?
Please fill in the “Submit Problem Report” form at the partner web site. See “Document feedback”
on page xvi for additional information.
How do I collect diagnostic data from the Brocade SMI Agent?
The Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool (described in this document) can be used to collect
required data.
Does the Brocade SMI Agent need to point to every switch in a fabric or just one switch in each
fabric to collect the data?
Just one switch per fabric.

General questions
5
Can the SMI Agent proxy for two fabrics that are in different subnets?
Yes.
Should I designate multiple proxies into a fabric? What are the best practices concerning this?
You can have only one connection at a time into the fabric. The only advantage in designating
multiple proxies is that if the first proxy fails to connect, the SMI-A tries the next proxy until it finds
one that works.
Do the start_server and stop_server scripts work if the agent is set to run as a daemon on Linux
and Solaris? Do these scripts work if the agent running as a service on Windows or do you have to
use the Services window?
If the agent is set to run as a daemon on Linux, Solaris, and AIX, or as a service on Windows. use
the start_agent_service and stop_agent_service scripts instead. On Windows, you can also use the
Services window.
On Linux, Solaris, and AIX, you must have root permissions to stop the service.
The best way to start and stop the server is to use the Configuration Tool.
In using Windows domain authentication, do I need to include the domain name along with the
username for authentication?
No. You should provide only the username, as shown:
UserPrincipal up = new UserPrincipal("username");
PasswordCredential pc = new PasswordCredential("password");
Does the SMI Agent have support for HTTPS communication?
Yes, the SMI Agent supports HTTPS (the combination of a normal HTTP interaction over an
encrypted secure socket layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS) transport mechanism)
between the CIMClient and SMI Agent. The Brocade SMI Agent also supports secure
communication between the SMI Agent and the fabric via secure RPC.
Does the SMI Agent work on hosts with multiple IP addresses? If so is there a way to configure the
CIMOM to choose a specific NIC/IP? Is there anything special I need to do for the SMI Agent to see
proxy switches connected to the second NIC, or will it just work by default?
Starting with 120.6.0 the Brocade SMI Agent supports multi-homed hosts. Some systems have
multiple network interfaces that are connected to different IP subnets. Each connection uses a
different IP address. By default, the CIMOM uses all IP addresses used by the system. To configure
the CIMOM to use only a specific IP address, modify the jserver.properties file found at
.../server/jserver/bin with the following entry:
HostIPAddress=<specific ip address>
This forces the CIMOM to only use the network interface with <specific IP address> even though
the system uses other network interfaces with different IP addresses.
To configure the IP address for Switch-to-SMIAgent communication in multi-homed systems, see
How do I tell what version of SMI-A I am running?

How do I prevent the SMI Agent process from getting terminated on Solaris when I start the agent
in a Bourne shell and then log out?
When you starts the agent in a Bourne shell (/bin/sh), the process dies upon user session logout.
To prevent this, start the SMI Agent using the following command:
/usr/bin/nohup start_server
Note that in the C shell, background jobs are by default immune to being killed by a shell exit.
If the Brocade SMI Agent hangs, how do I capture the thread dump?
On Linux:
Type the following command:
kill -3 pid
where pid is the process ID of the Brocade SMI Agent.
On Solaris:
Press CTRL key + backslash (\) key.
Press CTRL key + BREAK key.
On Windows:
Why is there no change in the status of a non-proxy Brocade_Switch when a LAN cable from the
non-proxy switch is unplugged?
Communication from proxy to target switches is in-band. So even if the LAN cable from a non-proxy
switch is unplugged, the agent can still talk to that target switch via the fibre connecting this proxy
switch and the non-proxy switch.
The Brocade SMI Agent does not send out any alerts for this.
What does the error message "Host Message: Duplicate connection to fabric ...." mean?
This is an informative error message that occurs when the provider.xml file is configured with IP
addresses of different switches in the same fabric. The Brocade SMI Agent tries to connect to each
entry in the provider.xml file. If a connection to the fabric already exists, then this message occurs.
Only one switch entry per fabric is sufficient in the provider.xml file.

Common Public License - v 1.0
THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC
LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM
CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1. DEFINITIONS
"Contribution" means:
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this
Agreement, and
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
i) changes to the Program, and
ii) additions to the Program;
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that
particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program
by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not
include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in
conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works
of the Program.
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed
by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

IBM Common Public License
A
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all
Contributors.
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a nonexclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display,
publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such
derivative works, in source code and object code form.
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a nonexclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and
object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the
Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the
Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license
shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
licensed hereunder.
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set
forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any
liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder,
each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute
the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its
Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
3. REQUIREMENTS
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license
agreement, provided that:
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
b) its license agreement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and
implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or
conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct,
indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone
and not by any other party; and
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs
licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
software exchange.
When the Program is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

IBM Common Public License
A
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that
reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users,
business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the
Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so
in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a
Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial
Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified
Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the
extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its
distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not
apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In
order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in
writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the
Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X.
That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes
performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and
warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to
those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any
damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
5. NO WARRANTY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS
IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each
Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the
Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement,
including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws,
damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS),
HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY,
OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN
IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. GENERAL
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without
further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

OpenSLP License
A
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to
software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by
that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such
litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of
the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such
Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the
material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable
period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this
Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses
granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid
inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The
Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this
Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this
Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the
Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed
subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new
version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its
Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above,
Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this
Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not
expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws
of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this
Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury
trial in any resulting litigation.

the amount paid by you for Software under this Agreement. The foregoing limitations will apply

REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF OR
INABILITY TO USE OTHER SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SUN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
